Okay, so I have a 2” scar on my forehead from the removal of #skincancer. I am so SICK OF APPLYING #SUNSCREEN EVERY BLOODY DAY because Melbourne is under the hole in the ozone layer! #whitepeopleissues #badgenes #sowhiteimseethroughwhenwet #thanksalotdad (at Melbourne, Victoria, Australia) https://www.instagram.com/p/Br6Ymlgge2N/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1u12j0urd2an1

Our family together just over a year ago celebrating Dad’s 80th birthday. Christmas Day was one month to the day that we lost the most respectful, loving, clever, compassionate and humble husband and father. @gloriabrucewallace and I wish to thank everyone who has sent cards, messages, cooked for us, mowed our lawn, checked in on us, called and especially those who took time out to attend Dad’s funeral. Your support is very appreciated. Much love, Karen and Gloria. #goodtimes #family #whatsimportant #missyoudad #gettingthroughchristmas #christmas (at Atticus Wine Bar) https://www.instagram.com/p/Br1bW60go0J/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=d15qrcfpml0t

Many thanks to @lilydaleflorist for adding a few personal touches to native spray placed upon Dad’s coffin. I cannot recommend them more highly. (at Lilydale Memorial Park - Lilydale) https://www.instagram.com/p/BrreqGmAVTn/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=ng8lpr54ks4d

Overjoyed to win this beautiful framed piece from Aussie company @shortstoryhome after attending their recent “special shopping event”. The team were patient & understanding, as Mum and I were dealing with Dad’s ill health & our heads were elsewhere. Another shopping event is planned for this Friday, Dec14th. Follow their IG for details. #supportsmallbusiness #supportlocal #buyaustralianmade (at Short Story) https://www.instagram.com/p/BrOu8iuApwJ/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=v96dh8zsfo2d

Massive apologies for not thanking everyone who sent condolences & kind words upon my father’s passing. It’s been #migraine city since 2 days prior to Dad’s funeral, with maybe 2 days relief since. Will provide genuine thanks asap 😘. #dontfeelbadforme #migrainesarewhatido #justbadtiming #toobeexpected (at Melbourne, Victoria, Australia) https://www.instagram.com/p/BrEn7Gzgugc/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=170ag4s2auoie

Have reenrolled for Art History @unimelb next year. I’m really looking forward to learning more about our home grown artists in ‘Australian Art’. Studying with a disability can have it’s challenges, of which I’ve personally experienced many, however @artsunimelb & Equity Depts & tutors have been nothing but supportive. I’d encourage any person with a disability who is considering tertiary/postgrad study to at least investigate your options and the supports available to you. The hardest part is asking for/accepting assistance. #expandyourworld #returntostudy #disability #pwd #study #postgrad #melbourne #universityofmelbourne #melbourneuniversity (at University of Melbourne) https://www.instagram.com/p/BqOhxAvhybC/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=jklptfkne6dq
